mans hat and left his own. What
predicament! What a perplexing pre-
dicament The real estate man gone to
the depot with the Clerks hat; the young
man gone to get married with the real
estate mans hat, and the Clerk with the
marrying mans hat. He ould not over
haul the real estate man and demand
his hat because he could not give a
fair exchange. So he must go to church
and wait until the young marrying man
got tied up.
He went to the church on double quick
and arrived just as the parson COM
menced to pray. He thought it the
longest prayer he had ever heard. Then
followed the singing, and then came the
kissing of the bride" At last the hus-
band and wife started for the door. their
faces wreathed in smiles, thinking of the
bright and happy future, calm bright
sea of-but they were stopped by the
clerk wish you much joy, much joy,
but. my dear sir. you are running of
with my hat A mistake, of course"
said he, bowling in his modest way.

man.
"Yes, sir. no. sir; that is it belongs to
. gentleman. Yes, sir. will exchange.
All. thanks. Prosperity, peace and
eternal love be and abide with you for
evermore," said the Clerk as he bowed
himself out Of the church

the sermons ard lectures his, or are
they the product of some mature and
magniflCently developed mind, COM
mitted to memory by him7 1t is puz-
zling question. In their delivery there
are no evidences of memorizipg. There
is nothing mechanical about the de-
livery, as may be seen in lengthy reci-
tations by even the best elocutlonists.
There is no pauslng and hunting around
for "cue word" There are no repe-
titions or skips, but the whole is spoken
deliberately and without any seeming
straining, but as if the boy compre-
hended the full meaning of all the
words he uses and the thoughts to
which he gives utterance. If they are
memorlzed, the boy is still prodigy,
for there is not another one of his
years, and with as little training as he
has had, who can, week after week,
commit to memory and recite as per-
fectly such long discourses. If they
are committed, the words and ideas
must many times be beyond his COM
prehension, and any one who has ever
tried the experiment knows how hard
it is to commit and recite thing they
do no understand. If they are original
they are nothing short of inspiration.
One thing is certain, they are not part
original and part committed, for the
original would show less thought and
less pure diction than the part COM
mitted, yet no such breaks are found
IN his sermons or lectures. He is mod
est and backward, yet the largest audi
ence, even of strangers, does not en-
barrass him. Taken in any way, Pascal
Porter is marvel-a puzzle.

Since she got Doctor Green,
But we burn gas to our house,
And she burns kerosene.

And come from Paris, France.
Now. Sally dresses awful plain,-
Some folks would call it mean,-
And we burn gas to our house,
While she burns kerosene.
These dimond rings have on

And flash out like house afire
Whichever way turn.
Sometimes ] see her look at them
While envy turns her green.-
Well-we burn gas to our house,
And she burns kerosene.
Now folks do say that Doctor Green
Has got dead leads OF cash;
But Sally amt at all like me,
She'd never cut no dash.
Among the suells at big hotels
She never would be seen-
Why. we burn gas to ouI house,
And she burns kerosene.
Sometimes l rather pity Sal,
Because she is SO slow,
And lives SO awful quiet like.
And never makes no show.
But Sally amt bit like Inc,
That's plainly to be seen.
And we burn gas to our house,
While she burrs kerosene.

A COlOred Poet.

The HERALD was this morning Wis
tied by Henry Barclay Stones, a
9 likely young negro" black and
sassy, with the request to print this
poem OH the Fair. The HERALD COM
plies with the request, after first dedi-
eating il to Secretary Smith. Here it
is, and pretty good for Henry;
ABOUT THE FAIR.
The town is aroused about the State FAIR,
About two miles from the square.
II s'pose the Fair will last ABOUT three weeks;
There we will see fine horses, cows, hogs
and sheep.
Everything is in fine condition,
That isn't all, there'll be grand exhibition.
III you have something to present do not
delay,
But come forthwith, give your name to
Secretary Smith.
DO not wait till the Fair IL all done.
The crone with long sour face,
Expecting to get the finest premiums.
Don't bring horses with sore backs and
scars on their legs by traces,
And curse the stock because you did not
win all the races.
Do not look and wonder and make long
groans.
When you see this was written by the
negro, Henry Stones;
But go ahead and make out the contents,
And say, Its put up with good common
sense.

Last night about 0 o'clock, the sire

Last night about 0 o'clock, the street
car driven by w. M. Allen on Main
street struck an obstruction between
the stables and the Convent switch,
beyond the Central track, and was de-
rallied. Two ladies were inside, and
negro man. On investigation sever
al stones were found piled up on the
track, and 4x6 scantling laid square,
ly across ii. Help was procured from
tho stables, and the car taken out of
the ditch and placed on the track
again. Nobody was hurt, and little
Manage done. 1t is supposed that the
Distractions were placed there either
some miserable miscreants in hope
'of plumber, or by some of the street
gamns who SO literally infest that
part of the city. Such All offense is a
felony under the laws OF this state
and punishable by Imprisonment in
the penitentiary. Such scoundrels
ought to be caught and severely dealt
with. Life and limb ought not to be
imperiled Oh public conveyances
